Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This dish was made at Jingdezhen in Jiangxi province. A dish of identical form, but with an underglaze blue six-character Xuande mark in place of the incised mark, was excavated at Jingdezhen from a Xuande context at the imperial kiln site of Zhushan in 1982. Both incised and underglaze marks were used during the Xuande era at the imperial kilns. Other dishes of this type, also with an underglaze blue mark but with additional incised decoration, are known: one example is in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, another two are in the Carl Kempe collection, a further example is in the Tokyo National Museum and another two are in the Gulbenkian Museum of Oriental Art and Archaeology, University of Durham.
